"How different people view the definition of "curvy" is going to vary. It could be anything from a lady or man being a little plump to being very large. My advice to you is to pass by the profiles that don't fit your personal expectations. " Well however you define yourself. I d still say i love your curves | |||

"People can describe themselves however they want to. What I've found on here there is always someone who is more than happy to tell you that no matter how you describe yourself that you are wrong. I had fabulous was told I'm not. I had curvy was told I'm not. I now have just average and yes I've been told I'm not. I've had ample and yep told I'm not the same for ample. You cannot win on here. I am over weight I never lie about that and I actually couldn't give a rats arse anymore if people decide I'm not what they think a certain phrase means. If people have curvy and you don't agree than just be an adult and move on .It is not up to you or anyone to define how others want to describe themselves. " People just love to message to tell us how we don’t fit their perception of the definition. I’ve stopped responding to those | |||

"Just think it would be better is it was clearer, ie dress size etc. " Dress size doesn't provide clarity. My shoulders and chest need a size 14, my hips a size 16, my waist a size 8. And a size 16 on a 6 foot frame looks and feels wildly different to a size 16 on someone barely 5ft tall even if the sizing was consistent 💜 | |||

Everybody has a prefence as do I which I find attractive and the last thing I want to do if offend anyone by saying not for me when it's revealed. I imagine it's awful. Just think it would be better is it was clearer, ie dress size etc. " The simple solution is for you to add acceptable dress sizes to your profile text. Perhaps in a little table according to height range? It would look well along side the one explaining the erg splits I can expect from "athletic" according to age... We all have preferences. I only play with a tiny minority of people I interact with. It's perfectly possible to handle that politely. | |||

" Most bodybuilders in their off season are pretty thick-almost curvy 🤭...muscular doesn't necessarily mean ripped (low bodyfat). And this is not me discrediting your opinion (please don't take it as disrespect and hope my comment is not perceived as passive aggressive🙏)...we all have a concept of what "curvy" means. This is just the nature of the forum...people bouncing opinions and ideas of each other. | |||

"I class myself as curvy, an hour glass kind of figure." That is most definitely curvy. Perfect figure imo Much larger people consider themselves curvy too I see where OP is coming from. It's subjective and not going to change. Same way athletic is subjective. Just scroll past when the photos are not to your liking. When searching for body type is not an option, a person's own description is irrelevant. Go by the most recent photos and hope for the best. | |||

"This will be contraversial I bet but body type options are limited for profiles on here but my interpretation of curvey is hugely different from what I'm seeing. " And I think the key phrase here OP is your interpretation. The wonderful thing about the human race is we are all different in appearance, self image and perspective. I reckon if you tried to design an accurate list of categories there’d be over a thousand. As others have said, profiles are always worth viewing but, if they don’t fit what you want, move on 😊 | |||

As an example, I myself am not ripped in the slightest, not even remotely (I'm average at best), and yet I can run decent times and do fairly decent at quite a few sports (I'm even a qualified instructor of one). I -am- athletic, but I don't -look- athletic, so I wouldn't put it on my profile, tbh. | |||

Plenty of people take photos of themselves to present in the best possible light and in ways that they are comfortable showing themselves. It's not hard to observe and if your not sure you can ask or be clearer about your own preferences. At the end of the day you met someone you weren't attracted to and it could just as easily been for any number of other reasons. | |||

"This will be contraversial I bet but body type options are limited for profiles on here but my interpretation of curvey is hugely different from what I'm seeing. How do you get to 40 & not know what curvy means ? read the 112 comments all you'll notice many people think it means different things. Cheers for your input, always valuable to have a smart arse. " What's your definition of "12-14 max" OP? | |||

"I see this complaint come up every so often on the forum. I see on here profiles what describe themselves in all manner of ways, which I may not agree with. But it's only the curvy women who get called out on it. Never the men who describe themselves as athletic for example, strange that? I would call out a man for describing as athletic because I don't look at mens profiles. I wasnt calling out. I agreed a meet with someone described as curvy. Arranged a drink and she couldn't fit the seatbelt into the clip. (True story) . I felt terrible being in person and saying no thanks as I didn't want to hurt feelings but her images and the body shape on the profile I found a bit misleading. It wasted everybodies time and was awkward." Hmm maybe you should have better processes in choosing who you meet? I'm a larger woman and even whilst heavily pregnant I still easily fitted in car seat belts. And there were no way of hiding all that extra size in photos. I'd recommend maybe video calling or meeting for a social only at a public place to avoid such issues. | |||

"I've myself classed as large because that's what I am. I'll get the messages saying oh I love curves blah blah. My reply is my curves are covered by rolls. More rolls than a bread shop! 😂 That'll generally be enough to stop the conversation dead in its tracks! Not too many want rolls let's face it! " I like what I can see. | |||

"For those who think it's shallow to ask. There are mamy profiles on here where people only have limited public pictures or take careful images which don't show figure. Everybody has a prefence as do I which I find attractive and the last thing I want to do if offend anyone by saying not for me when it's revealed. I imagine it's awful. Just think it would be better is it was clearer, ie dress size etc. Which is why my dress size is on my profile " And I can tell you now, men have no idea about dress sizes. So that's often not much help... | |||

Never assume men have no idea. Some just dont care and know some of you ladies dont like to talk about it. | |||

Probably why women list it, even though it's meaningless because it genuinely is. Two women of 5ft 6in, size 16, will have very different body shapes. And let's not get started on the fact "size 16" is also pretty meaningless when sizing is so inconsistent between retailers. I have clothing that fits me from size 14 to 18, for starters. It's not about MEN being unable to interpret so much as the actual information being meaningless. To everyone. | |||

"This will be contraversial I bet but body type options are limited for profiles on here but my interpretation of curvey is hugely different from what I'm seeing.

"Just think it would be better is it was clearer, ie dress size etc. Dress size doesn't provide clarity. My shoulders and chest need a size 14, my hips a size 16, my waist a size 8. And a size 16 on a 6 foot frame looks and feels wildly different to a size 16 on someone barely 5ft tall even if the sizing was consistent 💜" Excellently put. I'm a short girl. I class myself as curvy but my dress size on a taller lady would look completely different x | |||

I'm curvy but I'm also fat.... however my hip to waist measurement is very different. So whilst it's probably a rather big hour glass.. I still have one But to be fair... I'm slim for a lady my partner is interested in | |||
